BUG at mm/filemap.c:1749 (2.6.24, jffs2, unionfs)

[Erez Zadok]

David,

I'm testing unionfs on top of jffs2, using 2.6.24 as of linus's commit
4fa4d23fa20de67df919030c1216295664866ad7.  All of my unionfs tests pass when
unionfs is stacked on top of jffs2, other than my truncate test -- whic
tries to truncate files up/down (through the union, which then is passed
through to the lower jffs2 f/s).  The same truncate test passes on all other
file systems I've tried unionfs/2.6.24 with, as well as all of the earlier
kernels that unionfs runs on (2.6.9--2.6.23).  So I tend to think this bug
is more probably due to something else going on in 2.6.24, possibly wrt
jffs2/mtd.  (Of course, it's still possible that unionfs isn't doing
something right -- any pointers?)

The oops trace is included below.  Is this a known issue and if so, any
fixes?  If this is the first you hear of this problem, let me know and I'll
try to narrow it down further.

Thanks,
Erez.
